You have probably noticed that my recent works differ somewhat from those I created a year or more ago. Everything around me changes at a tremendous pace. I am no exception. My worldview depends on what I live by — what fills and defines my life. Each period of my life is tinged with different colors. I cannot precisely name the color of today, but I can describe the state and mood of recent times for myself. And that is — anxiety.
Best Regards, Igor Shulman

It’s a dog — an unusual one with fluffy fur that looks like an explosion of white rays against a dark background. What do you think? The energetic strokes create a feeling of movement and liveliness, while the black-and-white contrast makes...
I like women’s bodies, but not necessarily the whole figure. I’m drawn to fragments of a woman’s body in different situations, often within a pictorial setting—even if it’s partly in black and white. It doesn’t really...
I made some quick and small sketches about women’s iconic Louboutin shoes. But even for me it is not completely unclear what the priority of these sketches is. In beauty of shoes or in grace of women’s feet?
